General Competition Rules

These rules apply to all members who want to participate in Box Hill Golf Club competitions.

  • All competitions played are according to the rules of golf as set out by the Royal and Ancient Scotland and the United States Golfing association.
  • The club match committee (which is defined in the club’s constitution) controls all play (male and female, competition and non-competition) on the course and has sole jurisdiction in all competitions.
  • Competition players must report to the golf shop 10 minutes before hit-off time.
  • Competition fees must be paid before commencing a competition round and at the time of player registration.
  • Players in competition will have right of way on the course over non-competition players.
  • Players not entering into the club competition specified for the day and time can only play in those times allocated for non-competition play.
  • Players must inform the golf shop if they cannot finish their competition round.
  • If a member has a hole in one during club competitions, the club will honour the occasion with 30 minutes of complementary drinks on a day designated by the member.

Golf Australia Handicapping System

  • A player shall have an Australian Handicap only and this shall be allotted by his or her nominated home club. It is the responsibility of the player to report to his or her home club all scores returned by him or her at other clubs.
  • All competition cards must be returned as directed by the match committee whether completed or not. Failure to do so could, without notice, result in a change of handicap.
  • Handicaps are adjusted in accordance with the USGA slope system of handicapping described in the Golf Australia handbook and also on the Golf Australia internet site.
  • New members are required to return three fully completed scorecards to obtain an initial handicap, at least one of these scorecards should be from playing Box Hill Golf Club. Two nine hole cards will make up one completed scorecard. These cards must be signed by the player, endorsed by the marker and returned to the golf shop, all three cards should be submitted together at the one time.
  • Players in competitions must use the handicap displayed by GolfLink immediately prior to the commencement of the round (even if a recent round may have been delayed in being recorded in the GolfLink system which could potentially affect the player’s existing handicap).
  • The maximum handicap for men is 36. The maximum handicap for women is 45.
